The Carrier Command: Gaea Mission Website announces that a playable demo is now available for Bohemia Interactive's just-released action/strategy remake. Here's word on its two demo-exclusive assaults on the islands of Thermopylae and Granite: "Narrated by one of the developers, the demo kicks off with an action-packed sequence in which players control one of the amphibious Walruses. Once they complete their first objective, the demo fast forwards to another island. Here, the gameplay opens up and players will be able to switch between driving Walruses, flying Mantas and ordering units via the tactical map. Overall it takes about 45 minutes to complete." The demo is available for download from this page and it is mirrored on AtomicGamer and Gamer's Hell.

Sadly, the demo was buggy as hell for me. Locked up right from the get go when trying to reconfigure the default key bindings (and some of them seem really, really retarded in the first place). Then locked up with an "unhandled exception" when I tried to launch the campaign (the only option available in the demo). I haven't seen an unhandled exception since Win98, so it took me back to the day. Not what I want in a new game, however...

I still want this to not suck, so I will follow it for a while. Pick it up on Steam when it has been patched a few times and goes on sale for under $20. I think the price will be the easy part, judging from the reviews and user feedback I've seen on the boards.
